I always thought that moving was part of what you  do to play music. I 
started back in 69 and I guess I got spoiled, but I played  behind the Exiles when I 
was 13 years old and watching Jimmy Stokely do his act  I had no choice other 
than dance. If you have to think about what you are doing  on stage, then 
probably it will look contrived. I came up doing rock cause I was  a singer. I 
could play harp so I always did, but part of the show was moving to  the groove. 
I learned to move to the groove and play harp at the same time  'cause I got 
a good reaction from the crowd. Give 'em the meat. That's what  Steven Tyler 
says. Everybody has their own way, my way is to get down with it,  and give all 
I got. if I 'aint sweatin,' I aint playin'.

Your  stage presence, or whatever you want to call it, is more important to   
the fans than you may think. You could be a fabulous harp player but as a  
fan, 
I  won't be as entertained watching you if you are a mannequin,  no matter 
how 
good  you are. I want the whole  package:)
